RISER RADIATOR Application filed May- 3, 1929. Serial No.'360,162.

My invention relates to radiators for house heating purposes and more particularly to radiators which are adapted to replace the common riser line. The principal object of my invention is to provide a new and novel form of heat radiator, which will make practical use of the space taken up by the riser line.

By my arrangement, I construct a radiator of one or more vertical corrugated sections, which are adapted to be placed one above the other and joined together by steam tight connections. All oints are concealed by suitable covering members.

In the drawings a preferred arrangement is shown for the purpose of illustration only, in which Figure 1 is a general layout of a steam heating system with a floor radiator, a wall radiator and a riser radiator connected in the line- Figure. 2 is an .elevational view of a two section riser radiator assembly;-

Figure 3 is an enlarged vertical section 35 through the radiator shown in Figure 2 on a larger scale.

Figure 4 is a cross-section taken on the line 44 of Figure 3, and

Figure 5 is a art elevational and a part sectional view oi a modified form of riser radiator having horizontal corrugations.

Referring to Figure 1, a complete-steam heating system is shown to illustrate the adaptability of m riser radiator. The system comprises a oiler 10, steam feed and return lines 11 and 12 a floor radiator 13 and a wall radiator 14. My riser radiator is connected into the feed line 11in the same manner as the common forms of floor and wall radiators 13 and 14.

The radiator as shown in Figures 2 and 3 is made in two sections, a lower section 15 and an upper section 16, each section comprisinga corrugated body having vertical corrugations 23 over the greater portion of its length. These sections are placed one above the other and connectedby a nipple 20.-

An inlet connection 21 is threaded into the bottom of the lower radiator, and a suitable 5 pipe plug 25 is inserted in the top section.

Due to the enlarged cross section of the radiator and the "deeply corrugated surface 23, sufiicient radiation is obtainable to heat a fair sized room. If desired the diameters may be Variedto suit the conditions.

A base 17, an intermediate joint sleeve 18 and a ceiling sleeve 19, provide a means to conceal the joints and finish the appearance of the radiator, as shown clearly in Figures 2 and 3. The base sleeve 17 is flared at the lower end to form a substantial footing and may be secured to the radiator by means of set screws or in any other suitable way. T he ceiling sleeve 19 is also flared at the top while the joint sleeve 18 is preferably straight, and each is secured by means of set screws which permit vertical adjustmentof the sleeves to insure a closed joint especially at the floor and ceiling. The sleeves may be made in varying lengths to accommodate the difference in room heights.

vAir valves are provided in the upper section near the ceiling of each floor, when more than one section is used in each room, or one valve for each section where each floor is provided with one lon section. The uppermost valve at the top 0 the line may be placed lower than the other valves, to permit an air pocket to form in the top radiator section.

In Figure 5 a modified form of radiator section is shown in which horizontal corrugations 24 are used instead of vertical corrugations.

It is obvious from the foregoing that a novel form of radiator has been provided which is inexpensive to manufacture, and supplies the need for more radiation in small rooms where floor radiators or the like would be prohibitive. I

While the construction illustrated and described is a preferred form of my invention,

2. A radiator of the character described comprising elongated, interconnected sections placed one above the other with connecting. nipples sleeves covering said interconnections and an air valve in'the upper radiator section.
